Do something others aren't doing. Offer the user something they cannot get elsewhere. Overwhelm them to give them a reason to come back. I'm finding that it's hard to get anywhere with sponsor content and for most programs it's just not worth it to be an affiliate. It's spinning the wheels and going nowhere with the 0.75% ctr and the 1:5000 ratio. At nearly 700,000 impressions to make a sale you're almost losing money.

The problem with that is it will only worse until you get to the point where you are blogging 8 hours a day and even then you can't keep the lights on. I hate saying this but the paysite affiliate deal is 90% dead unless you already have the traffic and even then your cut becomes less every couple months.
